Oh, you mean outsourcing. That’s result of capitalism, not globalism.

Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched. As soon as it’s feasible to outsource everything again it’s going to happen.
That’s the way of profit.

There was an incident a few years back where the dairy industry were paying off farmers to get out of the dairy business so that could artificially raise the price of milk. I’m sure many in the industry were considered good, upstanding citizens. Yet, that did not stop them from fattening their bottom line at the expense of families with children or public schools.
The point is that the outsourcing certain goods such as medical supplies and equipment is a lucrative endeavor. That speaks to profits and happy shareholders as the objective. Capitalism is the primary cause. Globalism is a side effect.
Production moved overseas because shareholders demanded higher dividends, which meant that corporations need higher profits, which meant lower production costs, because higher product prices would not be borne by the consumer market.

I'd suggest watching The Corporation which makes a solid argument that if corporations really were "people" (as reaffirmed by Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission in 2010), then they would be sociopaths.

I propose we stop handing our supply chain and critical stockpile production over to hostile communists.
By becoming hostile communists ourselves?
How has that worked for citizens in the past?

The death of Globalism and the rebirth of the American worker in the face of Chinese backstabbing and weak globalist bonds is a welcome change.
China would be the really big loser. It starts out still relatively poor, is geographically insecure and is short of almost any natural resource you can think of. Its economy relies on western markets.

So not having out critical supply chain routed through a hostile nation = being communists?
Nice take.

No more fascist or communist than under going a background check and filling out a form stating one has been a 'good' person all their lives to practice their second amendment right.
